My First Ever Gel Printed Canvas

Рет қаралды 31,525

Жыл бұрын

I created an art piece by gelli printing onto a canvas, this idea came to me from a combination of two talented artists whom I admire, Patricia from PM Artist Studio and Froyle Davies from New Zealand.
This was the first time I’d ever tried gel printing directly onto a canvas and it wasn't without its challenges.
This is the link to the video I mentioned where Patricia created art pieces using smaller gel plates: • Gradation & What's Nex...
This is the link to the video I mentioned where Froyle created a collage art piece on a canvas: • This is How You Create...

Fabulous. You're brilliant to watch and you explain and comment without fuss; you get on with it, which is much more to my taste. Thank you for sharing and I will away to my craft room to press on, in more ways that one, haha! x

I would put the writing stencil directly on the canvas and with a sponge apply the black paint directly to the canvas. It would produce a blacker black.

At first I thought to myself...., "Where is this going..."? Then there were a few times I thought..., "He should quit while he's ahead..." Then it just started to gel, no pun intended!!! The colors and content are hypnotic. The more you look, the more you see. Well done 👏

I stretch my own canvas so I have rolls that I buy from Big Duck Canvas out of Georgia, very reasonable. That would be a great solution to the corner problem. Stretch them onto bars after creating the piece. I’m going to try this that way. You could also paint the whole canvas with a value 3-4 transparent, let it dry then proceed with a pre stretched canvas. I do love this piece and the process.

Hi Ceri! This was really interesting. It was like flying without a net. I appreciated your thoughts on ways to not have the hard edges of the gelli mats showing on the final piece; using the masks to their best effect. That was really impressive. The first pull, the colors you used were just amazing together. It was so natural, like the sun or a desert all rolled into one. Can't wait for you to do this again!

I've only been to Disney World in Orlando (as a child once, and several times as an adult, with and without children). It's a blast and definitely fun for adults, but I would never consider going during peak seasons. It's different for us now as well after Covid, but I think they'll get that figured out soon.
